Ceramic Coating, 9 Years Later??

[@LacroixCruiser]

The original coating, made in the USA, since 2005.

[@Sherukka]

^ God's right hand!

[@chriscook4130]

Dude, she’s awesome. Great spokesperson for the shop. Genuine, experienced and knowledgeable.

[@OptiCoatofficial]

Thanks Chris! Pauline and everyone at Race Day are great to work with and we appreciate them taking the time to be our pro for this vid. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

[@sdguy55]

Thanks for watching Chris! And yes. Pauline is an excellent example of Race Day.

[@jdisdetermined]

Wait.. did she *seriously* just apply Opti-Seal before showing water beading has returned?!? 😲😲 Well yeah, of course the panel will bead water *after* you apply a friggin' fresh sealant on top of it! That completely nullifies the beading ability test as proof of the old coating being intact. That is akin to testing if something is flammable by pouring gasoline on it before trying to burn it.. 😒😒

[@nls8520]

Agree for me as well; in fact, that negated the entire video when that happened. The car looked like it had completely lost beading during the other steps from what I could see.

[@paulgyro]

Agreed, when I saw her do that I was like "NOOO!!". Now we don't know for sure if the water test was done after the Hyper Seal application to that panel but it sure seems like it was. If so then the test results are null and void.

[@iphonejoe21]

Rookie's I tell ya

[@Aston1936]

They just sorta slipped that in. Allow me to rewax my car and show you how the old wax is doing. Geez.

[@simasm.9757]

video is big lie and just an ad and don't even think there is a coating that lasts at least 5-6 years let alone 9 years

[@paulinekarayoff5511]

This was so cool that we got to do this and the results are amazing!!

[@OptiCoatofficial]

And we can't thank you enough for your participation! It was a blast!

[@LacroixCruiser]

pauline karayoff great job!

Yea, it was a good video. It would be even better if it was a dark colored car too really see the results

[@ZenAutoDetailingOrlando]

Amazing! So glad we are an authorized installer of this product. Go team OPT!

[@sdguy55]

Thank you! Welcome to the family!

[@OptiCoatofficial]

ZEN! thanks you! It was tons of fun to make this vid and yes, AMAZING!

[@mattheviewer]

Would have been helpful to see cleaned coating's water performance just before applying the sealer. FYI just had Opti-Coat+ applied to my vehicle (wasn't offered Opti-Coat 3, unfortunately) and am hopeful it will perform well.

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

I think if I’m not mistaken, Opti coat 3 was x2 the coat of Opti coat pro +….. so I don’t think you should feel too bad

[@BananerRepublic]

yep, i spotted that right away... *sprays hydrophobic sealer on paint, then sprays water* "LOOK AT THAT BEADING! ITS ALL COME BACK FROM 9 YEARS AGO" ....

[@swiftzc33snfs]

Awesome. We have 2 cars coated with Pro Plus, great to see that it will really go the distance. Thanks for creating these excellent products.

[@LacroixCruiser]

Swift ZC33S NFS thank you.

[@sdguy55]

Thank you! We appreciate your support!

[@XxVendetaxX1]

Hi guys, this is quite amazing. The coating has obviously done and is still doing it's job. It has quite literally protected the vehicle against some of the harshest weather and typical consumer mistakes. To the people saying it's not that hydrophobic, it doesn't matter. The coating has lasted for almost 10 years and hasn't been taken care of, and yet the vehicle hasn't oxidized and neither has the TRIM...THE TRIM is always the first to go. "It's not as hydrophobic as I like!" Says the internet detailer. Well I say, who cares because the car is truly protected.

[@OptiCoatofficial]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! And your assessments are correct. Truly protected. Period.

[@isnik8715]

I haven't tried the "pro" yet, but have used and love Opti-Coat. I have many Optimum products and they all do a great job, just placed an order for more products today. One day I hope I take the classes they offer just to get my hands on the Opti-Coat Pro and +Plus just for my personal use. Thanks Optimum and keep doing what you are doing.

[@OptiCoatofficial]

Isni K, thanks for the comment! That's all great to hear and keep an eye out for the trainings, we'd love to have you there! We conduct them all the time so eventually.... Thanks again!

Probably full strength.

[@waelabdelazim8459]

WoW 💯💯👍🏻👍🏻

[@flowersflowers5070]

I just got my done a few weeks ago. I'm praying mine will last 9 years too. I had my last car for 18 years...wish I would have had it done but didnt know anything about this type of product. Wish me luck too?

[@Sherukka]

The beading was tested first after spraying Hyper-Seal? Impressive looks anyway!

[@OptiCoatofficial]

Hey Sherukka, thank you for watching and for the comment. We tested before and after with similar results, wanted to showcase the Hyper Seal there and in the interest of keeping the vid from being any longer than it is, felt that since it was all true and accurate that it was good to go Thanks again!!

[@Sherukka]

@@OptiCoatofficial I wanted that to be clear because I'm kind of a Optimum "fan-boy" myself but that is all your "fault" because of all the great products you have. Thanks again and keep up the good work! PS. Going soon for my first Gloss-Coat.

[@OptiCoatofficial]

@@Sherukka So great to hear! Enjoy that Gloss Coat!! Cheers

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

Was the car contact washed before optimum power clean and ONR towel was wiped around?

[@OptiCoatofficial]

Hello! Yes, the car was washed with ONR prior to the Power Clean step. Thank you for the comment!

[@danielbyrne5862]

I have a 08 element I got in 2011 polished it and gloss coat and hyperseal paint looks like new

[@Danialdaneshmand]

It lasted 9 years, neglected and went through a car wash and looks swirl free? That can't be right.

[@awcarterart]

Hey Danial, thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. It's all the truth, not sure what else to say really. I will admit that it's never been exactly abused, only neglected and when I said washed 4 times a year, that was on a good year. Hope that helps a bit. I simply presented the facts. Thanks again!

[@sdguy55]

That’s the beauty of Opticoat! 😊

[@gusgarcia4131]

Danial Daneshmand I’m sure there is some swirls or marring in the pint it’s just the light, out it in the right light and it will show!

[@fcg243]

Gus Garcia well, swirls on silver paint and white paint are difficult to make out.

[@daaneel]

that's because it is silver paint. on silver and white paint, it's almost impossible to see swirl marks unless you are REALLY TRYING to look for them. I have a white car that looks perfect, but if I get the light on the right angle, i can see a bnch of scratches

[@pjfan173]

Great video and two hard working people. The American way

[@jeromeboily]

What is the dillution ratio of ONR in the foam gun?? Looks to work great!

[@paulinekarayoff5511]

We usually use about 2 capfuls of ONR and fill the rest with water depending on the size of the foam cannon, I like it as a pre-rinse. I know that some people also just premix ONR and water in a regular garden sprayer, which is more cost effective and does the same job. I just really have had a hard time letting go of that foam cannon. lol

[@greatestNothin]

@@paulinekarayoff5511 was going to say...putting ONR in a foam Cannon is an effort in futility.

[@acadian33]

Pretty cool

[@OptiCoatofficial]

Thanks for the comment Luc and we agree!

I agree :)

[@gbrooks28]

Almost seems too good to be true... I would want to see the original receipt of the application 9 years ago.

[@glumdogtrillionaire]

Is she for real? Checks beading of the coating AFTER applying Hyper Seal then proceeds to say “we didn’t have to put anything else on it... this is the original coating”

[@DSKSeattle]

How often did this car go through the car wash over the 9 years?

[@OptiCoatofficial]

Hello Minh, at best it was at 3 times a year, so let's say somewhere between 15-20 times maximum over the 9 years.

If you put on the sealant before showing the water behavior after decontamination, then it negates literally the entire point of the video.

@@austinobrie2737 you have got to be a moron... they literally only sprayed stuff on the car and the wiped it down and that's what you call a full detail and then attribute the new car shine and paint condition to that.
